This is an ultimate salsa recipe! Slow roasted tomatoes, garlic and chilli pounded into a yummy citrusy aromatic concoction. If you like salsas, I will highly recommend making this salsa.
Believe it or not my first taste of Mexican food was in a cinema 12-13 years ago when I bought a tray of nachos with salsa, guacamole, and jalapenos. I realized that there is more to Mexican food than packaged salsa. My research and obsession for Mexican food took me to ‘Wahaca’ in London. I fell in love again! I cannot remember the dish I ordered the first time I was there. When it was served, I looked at it and kicked myself thinking “Oh! dear, have I made a mistake” and one mouthful and I was completely mesmerized by the complexity of flavours. That was the day my love for Mexican food started!
I love the simplicity of Mexican food with the complex flavours. Mexican food is loaded with fresh ingredients and abundance of flavour. The vibrant and intriguing flavours of Mexico take you on a journey like no other!
I initially thought my love for Mexican food must be due to my love for chillies. However, over time I have realized that Mexican food has lots of similarities with foods across the world. The numerous types of chutneys, salsas and relishes in Mexican food has close parallels with chutneys and pickles from India to name just one here. It is one of those forgiving cuisines where a simple spice box using fresh flavouring are used to produce complex, vibrant and refreshing dishes.
This salsa is full of punch and is refreshing, vibrant and just super yummy!
